“A handful in the nearly 200,000-strong police force think that their badges and uniforms entitle them to trample on the basic rights of the citizenry and do whatever they please”
Amid the rains that led to water, water everywhere but in some places, not a drop of water from household faucets, we should be glad that, at least in Metro Manila, we can rely on efficient water services for our daily needs. Those are valid reasons for the rate hike petition, from where we sit. After all, the water concessionaire should be able to maintain its uninterrupted 24/7 water supply with adequate pressure and carry out its programs for water security both in the medium- to long-term.
If the rate hike petition is granted, Manila Water customers will have continuous water supply day in and out. Last month, six police officers who robbed and injured a sidewalk vendor in Caloocan City in April were ordered dismissed from the police service after being found guilty of administrative charges and grave misconduct.
The incident was recorded by closed-circuit television cameras, with the footage showing the officers as they were hitting the vendor’s head. The footage spread like wildfire on social media platforms.
